In a small town, somewhere in southern New Jersey, a house sat on a private community lake. This house had tried every method available too keep squirrels from eating their bird food, but too no avail. But today while not any different in the consumption of bird food, the squirrels themselves where different.
They where White in color, like the snow fur of a fox or rabbit, and with eyes or Royal purple.
The old lady who owned the house was currently on the phone…
"Yes, it's white, purple eyes… no, not albino." The old lady had researched squirrels in an attempt to find a way to stop them, her closest attempt being covering her bird feeders pole and top with Vasaline.
While the lady was on the phone the squirrel started to telepathically float the seeds to its mouth while it sat comfortably on a nearby tree branch. The old lady immediately started screaming for her husband as things had taken an odd turn.

Breaking news! Giant tree with a real god appears in New Jersey of the United States of America.
posted by u/Fighterchamp13
Just last night a huge tree of at least 100+ feet appeared in the Wharton forest with a dude named Clay claiming to be god, and I believe him! What normal person can make a hummingbird out of crystal and a church made out of a magical tree that make me feel like I just drank Greencow!

Where's the proof on this? I just checked maps and there has been no change. If the tree was a big as you say and magical I should be able to see it!

The news of this tree and its god had started to spread like fire in a forest on a hot and dry day.
The PID didn't even try to limit its flow, as the spread of this info would help their deal with Clay.
The PID while listed as a paranormal intelligence department that had only a dozen office workers and one strike team on offial records, they where really the front of a much larger department that had found, contained, and studied many creatures and objects that shouldn't have existed on Earth.
Over the next few hours many powerful and influential organizations and people looked into Clay, trying to figure out just what was going on. The Vatican had even tired to find his contact information directly only to realize no other information existed then what was listed by the Reddit posted and the people of New Jersey.
The U.S.A government had started to get calls from the Holy See, a governing body controlled my the pope and in full ownership of the city-state of Vatican City, about this supposed god within their country and had been told to "investigate themselves", and had been redirected too the PID Wich had a bad relationship with the Holy See over past incidents.
-1 week later Wharton Forest-
The Wharton forest or more specifically Batsto village, a small village within the state park and an area not usually seen with anymore then fifty visitors year round, currently had more then a thousand people taking pictures and forming what could only be described as a hoard like line towards the massive tree about a mile into the forest.
Suddenly a AW139 Luxery Helicopter painted in white and gold flew over the forest and landed infront of the second church of The two gods. Out stepped multiple priests with combat gear vaguely concealed beneath their robes, with the lead security, a cardinal, having two engraved ivory 1911's under each arm in holsters and at least a dozen magazines scattered around his attire Wich all contrasted his wide and pleasant smile.
Following behind them the Pope of the Era, Pope Wilfrid III. He had survived a what the public would consider a minor scuffle between religions that in secret had been a full blown global war between them, that had killed off multiple high ranking members of multiple religions only to end with an agreement.
As Pope Wilfrid walked down the stairs his smile slowly disappeared into a serious expression. And by the time he entered the halls of the church's main warship room, he was frowning. The temple was suppressing him because of his belief in another god, Pope Wildrid could feel the pressure building and he felt weak like a child by the time he had come before Clay.
The two stared at one another for a minute before the Pope spoke, "greetings…" only to pause as he only knew their name but not what to call them.
Shit I don't know what I want to be called… I'll just make it Lord.
"Lord will suffice" Clays voice was deeper and more booming then usual when he spoke,seemingly amplified by the halls of the church.
"Yes, I, Pope Wilfrid III of the Catholic Church, Greet you, Lord Clay" Pope Wilfrid said, in a neutral, non-subservient, tone.
Intrested in the religions of the world as there where no active gods here as far as he could tell, Clay raised and eyebrow and asked "whom do you surve, and why are they not here?"
"Lord Clay, I serve Yahweh, surely you must know of his magnificence! He is the Holy Trinity, and one above all!" Pope Wilfrid said with a smirk on his face, as if he was the better person showing the light to someone who is oblivious to the truth.
"The only god I know that fits that description even only slightly it Cayde Ōkami, god of Demi-humans. Your god, if he does exist, seems to have abandoned you long ago as no god would let a world fall into such disrepair." Clay said, laying out a blow to the Pope that he would only understand much later.
Furious, Wilfrid started to go crazy, "How dare you ahhhah!" only to be suppressed by the temple and then surrounded by the creatures of the forest who where indebted to Clay.
"It would be unwise to insult a god in his own domain. You may go now don't get angry that your false god is meaningless. And with these words the creatures of the forest chased the pope back to his helicopter giving passersbys somthing to either laugh at or be mortified by.
In but 5 minutes someone had worked up the courage to enter the temple, only to see Clay in sweatpants, boots, and a bomber jacket covering a white T-shirt.
The woman in hiking cloths walked from the door up to Clay and waited for him to notice her.
"What is your request…" Clay didn't know there names and waited for there response.
"I know your are a god, but can you tell me why there are two thrones, and if it isn't to much can you help heal my husband?"
Smiling at the women, Clay answered her honest question, "there are two thrones because while I am a god of creation and life my companion is the god of death and destruction. And yes if you bring your husband here I will do my best for my followers."
Clay spent the rest of the day answering questions, amassing followers, and dealing with other religious groups messengers, striking up a deal with some Shinto Shrine maidens who had traveled as fast as they could after hearing the name Ōkami
